Talk:Berossus

I have just written an entry Berossos for TheoWiki. If it's possible, I can submit it here as well. Original at my website. --Joel Ng
 * Yeah, it would be a great assest on wikipedia as well. Great article too, nice job. Christopher 23:03, Feb 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Ok, I've copied and pasted it in, but then this page uses the Berossus transliteration, while I used Berossos.  If it switches to Latin, then my "Babyloniaka" should also switch to "Babyloniaca"  I don't know if that matters, but that's a lot of occurrences to change.  Personally, I would prefer to use "Berossos" and redirect "Berossus".  Also, there may be far more links within wiki entries here that would be relevant than at TheoWiki.  I think quite a lot of work needs to be done there. --Joel Ng 06:48, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Astrologer
Berossus also was a famous astrologer considered as the founder of hellenistic astrology. I am busy in the German WP and therefore not going to edit this article at the moment. But perhaps someone will like to consult e.g. the History of Western Astrology by Jim Tester where Berossus is mentioned several times. 92.202.124.137 (talk) 21:44, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Berosos as Greek version of Beros or Verosh?
It is clear that Greeks added "oc" (os) to his full name - Verosh or Berosh (betatism) as a priest of Baal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.182.124.5 (talk) 08:55, 2 May 2013 (UTC)


 * How is that "clear" without a source ever having pointed that out?  It seems more like your original research. Til Eulenspiegel /talk/ 12:30, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Please to all scholars. Clear the origin of the name Berossus and stop calling it wrongly greek. In the time of Babylonia and Assyria there were no greek language and there were no nation called greek. All scholars must be very carefully with the terms used in Wikipedia because you might tell wrongly world history and this is not forgiven for a scholar. Please clarify the origin of term Berossus because the real origin of this word is albanian and is linked to "bari" for shepherd. And also word "ber" in albanian language means flock of sheep and flock of pigs who need a shepherd to take care of. Here is from where comes the shpehperd origin of the world Berossus. Clarify the origin please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.106.161.173 (talk) 16:54, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

Why not mention the Arab dynasty of babylon mentioned by Berossus?
